11 years of wedded bliss!

Happy Anniversary N8, I love you!

When were your youngins:

On our wedding day:

10 years...

In 10 years we went from this:

to this:

I love you N8!
Happy Anniversary!
a quote from our Stake Conference this past weekend:
Choose the one you love, love the one you choose...

Easter weekend...

Saturday started with a bang as we took the kids over to the annual Walmart Easter egg hunt. Well, N8 took Bud and Henry and I arrived late with Emma and Mo. It's crazy, parents push and shove and throw eggs into their children's baskets. It's a great time and we enjoy going each year that they have it!

We finally had some non-windy time and took advantage of it. We went out on the local bike path so Bud and Emma could practice their bike riding (we got Bud a new bigger bike and Emma is now riding Bud's old bike). It's nice for them to have a long stretch without cars in the way!

Then we headed over to Staples and Walmart to do some anniversary shopping. This week N8 and I will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. What I planned on getting N8 was out of stock, so I'll be ordering it this week. N8 got me the Wii fit plus. I hope I like it!

Once the kids got their profile set up on the new Wii game we did some egg coloring:


We rounded out the night with N8 and I going to the adult session of Stake Conference and Tasty Freeze after.

This morning the kids were excited to see what the bunny had left:


Then we got ready for church. We got Emma a new Easter dress at Kmart and I decided to make faux ties to match for the boys!


We had an excellent dinner over at Ricky and Kim's house and am now enjoying a semi-quiet Sunday afternoon. Happy Easter!!

9 years!

It's been nice years since this:

Preparing and Packing

Why does leaving for an overnight trip take all day to prepare for? Tonight we're headed up to Mammoth Lakes for overnight for our anniversary. We're staying at the Holiday Inn (Thank goodness for points, we have a free night!). It will be 6 years tomorrow. Of course we're taking the kiddos with us, but it should still be fun. N8 is looking forward to seeing some snow and I'm just looking forward to getting out of town. Hopefully this kids are good.

Here we are 6 years ago. Man we were so young!
